Web Goblin cnc has begun

[Web Goblin]

Right then I have managed to get some more time on my build so here is an update.
Timing belt fitted for my Y axis drive and motor mount set up and tensioned.


I will eventually make a guard for it. I was thinking about clear perspex so that I can see any problems with the belt if they appear.

I have assembled the X axis ballscrews, nuts and mounts. Made up the spacer blocks and got them all fitted and set up.


Also got the couplings bored out and fitted and the motors mounted.



I managed to get a start on the control panel as well. Job for tomorrow is to remember where I stashed a short length of 75mm x 75mm alu angle to make the mounts for the limit switches and get them done. The limit switch brackets will be fitted with tee nuts in the extrusion slots so that I can adjust then to get the best working area from the machine.
Hopefully the next update will be a bit sooner than the last ones have been.
